That is not an A material, it's A++++. Very beautiful fish indeed.
This is my favourite fish Inlecypris auropurpureus, which means golden-red cypridnid from Lake Inle. Looks nastsy but actually very peaceful. Think a school of 100 in a 5ft tank would be fantastic. Apparently the LFS calls it a Tiger Rasbora, even though I don't usually go for common names but in this case I'd make an exception
Very difficult fish to shoot, the body sheen is a nightmare for lighting control. I think my sifu would give me an A for this

What a nice picture!
(Would you tell us a little bit about your secrets of shooting this kind of tiny and fast fish?)

Very nice indeed! I wish fish selections here in Canada would have beautiful species such as that!

well, you could abandon your job and become a fish importer

T.H. the secret is, as some religious book keeps saying, “let there be light…”
I have a flash from the top of the tank so that I can have enough shutter speed to freeze the fish. By the way this is not a small fish, about 3-4 inches long.
Other than that, an inexhaustible supply of patience and oodles of good luck

Nice fishy...
i've finally got a cheap flash but i know, i know choy, i'll pay more in long run because the battery is non-rechargable and it is expensive to replace. (Choy keep reminding me of the battery cost and it made me feel so stupid to buy it) I just hope that the pictures will turn out as good as those you took with the add-on flash.
hee hee, we just want you to upgrade to the D70 with a SB800 (can use rechargeables) and get us great pictures mah :wink: :wink: :wink:

Oh Nonn, you butter finger. Is that the built-in flash or the 550EX? Time to get the 1DII :P

Tried the flash at last on my Atyopsis gabonensis. Easier as it does not move much
Internal flash
Internal flash-close-up
External flash used- close-up I guess the difference is quite obvious from the top picture
Can DIY batteries is it is NC type. Because the voltage/current is standard. Just connect them in S & P. Unfortunately, you flash will look like shit thereafter.
what's NC? His flash uses CR123A Lithium.

NC is Nickel Cardium, old fashion type. Now mostly used for cordless phone only.
